School's Kitchen Manager Fired for Giving Hungry Children Free Lunch

22. I sent this email

To the person I think is in charge:

Are you the person responsible for firing the kitchen director? If so, I think you should reinstate her. I saw the story at this link:

I am a teacher and sometimes have a hungry child in my class. They can’t think if they’re hungry. All they are thinking about is how hungry they are. Sometimes they disrupt the rest of the class because they are only thinking about how they need food. At our school, we do whatever we can to get the child something. In the case I am speaking of, somehow an orange and a container of milk appeared for this third grader who was in tears because he was hungry.

I am new at this school, so I don’t know what the “policy” is, but I do know that we didn’t serve the child some cheese on a bun, which would only raise his glycemic levels and possibly lead to a blood sugar crash, thus disrupting his concentration even more.

Please reconsider your policies. Somehow, some way you should be able to give a student who is hungry something nutritional.

Then I signed my full name and the town/address.

I found the address here:
